Juniper Prairie Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Ocala National Forest, Florida.

The Juniper Prairie Wilderness spans 13,260 acres of diverse ecosystems including pine flatwoods, prairies, marshes, and subtropical jungle environments.

The Eastern Wilderness Act of 1975 established this protected territory to maintain natural conditions and provide opportunities for outdoor exploration.

The Florida National Scenic Trail winds through eight miles of the wilderness, connecting visitors with native landscapes and local wildlife.

Visitors can rent canoes for paddling along Juniper Creek's seven-mile stretch, with transportation services available for return to the starting point.

The wilderness contains sections of the largest sand pine scrub forest system, featuring clear springs that feed into numerous lakes and waterways.
